Gather Necessary Tools and Materials:

Before commencing the installation, ensure you have all the necessary tools and materials at hand. These typically include:

Adjustable wrench

Plumber's putty

Step 1: Shut Off Water Supply and Remove Old Faucet

Begin by turning off the water supply valves located under the sink. Then, use the basin wrench to loosen and remove the nuts securing the old faucet to the sink.

Detach the water supply lines from the old faucet, using an adjustable wrench to loosen the nuts. Once the lines are disconnected, lift the old faucet out of the sink.

Step 3: Prepare the Sink and New Faucet

Clean and dry the surface where the new faucet will be installed. Apply a thin layer of plumber's putty around the base of the new faucet.

Step 4: Install Faucet and Water Supply Lines

Insert the new faucet into the sink opening and secure it with the mounting nuts. Ensure the rubber washer is in place between the faucet and the sink. Tighten the nuts with a basin wrench, but do not overtighten.

Connect the water supply lines to the new faucet. Wrap the threads of the lines with Teflon tape for a watertight seal.

Step 5: Install Handle and Aerator

Install the handle by inserting it into the stem and securing it with the included screw. Next, screw on the aerator to the end of the spout.

Step 6: Turn on Water and Check for Leaks

Turn on the water supply valves and check for any leaks. If leaks occur, tighten the connections as necessary.
